Bringing space back to the 1970s to develop rural areas

"Go, I'll buy you some good food tomorrow in town, and bring you some crisp fabric." She motioned him to look at the paper on the table. "We can each make one of those backpacks."

When Yang Ziling saw the backpack drawn with simple lines on the paper, his eyes lit up and his smile deepened: "Will we all carry this when we go out in the future?"

That was a sketch that Yang Qingdai drew based on her memory of the mountaineering bag from her previous life. For Yang Ziling, it was better than anything else.

"Well, since farm work is not busy during this period, I should be able to ask the team leader for leave to go to the city to visit Grandpa Lu and the others." Although whether she asks for leave or not will not have any effect on the team's production.

but!

You need a letter of introduction issued by the brigade to go out.

"Go wash up first. I've steamed ginger cake and brown sugar Mala cake for you to try. I'll go to town tomorrow to see if there are other ingredients, and then come back to make other cakes for you."

"Good~"

Yang Ziling ran away holding Yang Qingdai's sketch.

Chen Xiao, who came in a step later, caught a glimpse of Yang Ziling's excited back from the corner of his eye.

Alas, comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.

Yang Qingdai is really good to her younger brother. Her own elder brother does nothing except ordering him to do work.

"Xiao Yang, the educated youth, here, these are the sausages, bacon, and Beijing cakes and preserved fruits we received yesterday. And these were just picked, so we need to add more food for lunch," Chen Xiao came in with a lot of bags, and helped wash the vegetables and pots with swift hands and feet.

When he just came in, he caught a glimpse of Chen Yu and Liu Aiguo chatting happily, as if they wanted to have a candlelight chat tonight. He turned back to his own vegetable garden and picked some radishes, eggplants, and beans.

Yang Qingdai didn't even bother to give him a look. She picked out the bacon and asked him to scrub it clean.

They should be thankful that Yang Ziling liked the cakes and preserved fruits they brought, otherwise he could have boiled a big pot of senna water for them just because he dared to bring such oil-consuming eggplants.

"Go get me the pork leg from the hanging well, cut it in half and chop it into pieces." Yang Qingdai ordered Chen Xiao to do the work without any politeness.

The younger brother has to bear his elder brother's debt as well.

Put the cut eggplants into water and take them out. Then make some minced meat and eggplant for them at noon, which is just right for them to eat with the big steamed buns left over from the morning.

"Okay~"

Minced meat with eggplant, minced meat with beans, and a cold dish. No thief would steal. Chen Xiao happily went out to get the meat.

"Sister, I'm here to help." Yang Ziling blinked her big watery eyes and leaned forward, with water droplets still dripping from the ends of her hair.

Oh my god, why are this child's eyes getting brighter and brighter? When he looks at people, there are little stars in his eyes and his little heart is beating fast.

He pointed to the two baskets of pastries with a free hand, "Go clean your hair, then take them out and cut them. Chen Xiao is here to help."

The two stoves were lit at the same time, and soon there was a table full of delicious food, which made Liu Aiguo's heart beat fast.

He nudged Chen Yu with his elbow and asked quietly, "Will you guys owe Comrade Yang a lot of money and food coupons if you do this?"

Chen Yu: "...Don't talk, eat your meal."

Liu Aiguo ate the whole meal with trepidation, but Yang Qingdai finally couldn't stand it anymore and used the serving chopsticks to put food into his bowl, then he started to eat with big mouthfuls.

Tsk, she's not some terrible beast, is there any need to scare her like that?

Really!

After the meal, Chen Yu and Chen Xiao helped Liu Aiguo move the medicinal materials and sent the children to take a nap. They gave Liu Aiguo a large pot of summer-cooling tea and also made some Mala cakes for him to eat on the way.

Waiting for Yang Ziling to wake up, starting the daily routine of being a poor student being beaten by the top students.

Before Yang Ziling got up, Qu Dongdong, who rarely took a lunch break, showed up at her house, picked up the watermelon she had just cut, and started to eat it without any hesitation.

"Tang Danni, the educated youth from our educated youth institute who had been on leave, is back."

"Who?" Yang Qingdai was unable to react for a moment.

She had never heard of this person, and Sister Xuan had never introduced him to her.

Qu Dongdong finished eating another piece of watermelon. "Remember when we first arrived, Sister Xuan said there were five people on the kang over there? But we only saw four people. It was one educated youth who kept asking for leave.

He came back at lunch time. He was dressed even more extravagantly than you were at that time."

Qu Dongdong is still impressed when he thinks about the high luggage on Uncle Ma’s ox cart.

Yang Qingdai looked up at the sky. "Nonsense, how was I exaggerating? I traveled from the southernmost part to the northernmost part with such a small amount of luggage. How could that be an exaggeration in your eyes?"

Obviously, she had forgotten the pile of things that she and Yang Ziling had mailed and collected for several days, as well as the food, clothes, quilts, etc. that she had secretly taken out from the space.

Qu Dongdong's eyes widened. "You're not exaggerating? You moved your home from Yangcheng to Qingshan Brigade. Isn't that exaggerating???"

"Tell me quickly, how exaggerated is the returned Tang Zhiqing." Not wanting the topic to continue to revolve around him, he quickly changed it.

The Chen brothers, who had just seen Liu Aiguo off, couldn't help but feel curious.

"Qu Zhiqing, tell me quickly, how do you exaggerate?" Chen Yu dragged a chair over and faced her.

The first sentence was a huge blow to them:

"Someone drove it back, and she said the driver was her brother, and there was also a bicycle.

As soon as her brother entered the Youth Corps, he complained that the environment was bad and there were too many people. Both siblings looked down on others and didn't even look at them. They were even worse than Li Hongqing and Li Lingzhong.

When I went out, I heard that he was going to ask the team leader to buy a better house for Tang Zhiqing.

However, all the better houses in Qingshan Brigade have been bought by you. I don’t know where Tang Zhiqing will want to buy a house.”

"If I don't use my eyes to see people, what should I use to see?" Chen Xiao, who was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes and his mind was a mess, asked in a daze while lying on the table.

"Comrade Chen Xiao, what happened? Did you stay up late to steal last night?"

The Chen brothers have always been full of spirit and energy. This is the first time she has seen Chen Xiao look like this.

Yang Qingdai was also curious. She was fine in the kitchen before lunch, but now she seemed to have been drained of her energy by a demon.

Chen Yu mumbled, "It's time for him to take a nap," and sent him to Yang Ziling's room to sleep on his kang.

He continued to gossip with the two female educated youths, "Qu Zhiqing, please continue."

"You know, given how arrogant they are, wouldn't it be embarrassing if they took a fancy to your house?"

She personally felt that there was a high possibility that he would take a fancy to Yang Qingdai's house.

"You don't want a crow's mouth!"

Yang Qingdai and Chen Yu said in unison.

Qu Dongdong pouted in grievance after being yelled at. She just said it casually, why was he so fierce?

"Everyone knows that your family is better than the captain's. Both your families have lights on every night. The captain's and Secretary Yang's families are not as arrogant as yours."

Chen Yu disagreed with this statement.

"You can't say that. Everyone knows that we are dealing with medicinal herbs at night. How can we light the kerosene lamp without turning on the lights? The captain and his men don't have anything serious to do at night. Why waste the electricity?"

Yang Qingdai and Qu Dongdong looked at each other. Aren't you afraid that the captain will hear what you said and make things difficult for you?
